A collection of posters and covers in Bravo magazine from the '50s to early '80s.

The Police feature on the cover of Bravo of 5 March 1981. In that issue 36 years ago, Germany’s youth read about:

• The alleged mistress of ABBA’s Benny Anderson: will it split the group?
• Introducing Adam and his Ants
• A clairvoyant predicts the future of the surviving three Beatles (I’ll post that crap on Friday)
• How to become a parachuter
• The Police: “We urgently need a break”
• Styx and Saga in concert
• Five punks let off steam: “We’re pissed off about everything.”
• Ian Dury: “I’ll throw my crutches away.”
